Re: twopointslow

The ultimos are great for really low...but know this...cranked all the way up in the rear is still very low, that's why I upgraded to ST's on my Golf...and the ultimos are now sitting in my shed...I'm out in the mountains and need the ride height and clearance during the winter months.

Re: twopointslow

I'm also looking for coils, what do you think of the raceland ultimos?

If your looking to go low. Buy them. But don't expect them to ride well.

I ran dirt cheap coils on my old mk4 and they were perfect for what I was looking for. Cheap, and they went low.

Re: twopointslow

First of all what's the most you want to spend.

Second, never get a cup kit. You won't be happy with it, you can't adjust them.
Plus, imho, your gonna need to be decently low to pull off the sawblades, so grab some coils.

Concept has a decent set for pretty cheap.

Re: twopointslow

Ok guys, the time has come. Finally have some dolla to spend on suspension. I've seen a few threads talking about what some good coil overs are, and I think i'm set on some raceland ultimo's. However, I was reading a thread from awhile ago that mentioned that if I don't plan on driving completely slammed, that I would be better off just buying a cup kit?!?! I think I would feel better having the option to adjust the height, but some opinion on cup kits would be nice.

stop posting my car on your thread kiddo

Re: twopointslow

Looks good Drew. Definitely agree with clearing them. Do 4-5 coats of clear if you want the best results with a spray can. Light at first and progressively heavier coats. Make sure you don't do too much and get a big run because you can't remove runs the same with the shitty spraybomb clear as you can with real clear.

Re: twopointslow

A little to dark for my liking,might be too dark to see the signals. but props for doing your own work.

I made sure it wasn't too dark for the signals and reverse. I only did 2 coats of the stuff LOL. all is good. Thanks!

If you haven't already you may want to shoot a few coats of clear/gloss over the whole light to make it shiny. As "great" as the nightshades stuff is, it tends to have a matte look and it only gets more and more bland as time goes by. Glossing it up really makes the tail lights pop and will give the impression that you bought them like that.
Props on the DIY, at least you didn't black out the whole thing

Thanks for the tip. i'll pick up some clear coat tomorrow and give it a spray.

Id normally agree, but it looks nice on a black car. Sticks out like a sore thumb everytime i see them on silver/white/red cars.

Re: twopointslow

I couldn't find any OEM gti tail lights, and didn't want to shell out $200+ for brand new ones, so I just decided i'd ghetto tune my tail lights with some vht niteshade

Before:


Masked off:


End results:




It's a lot darker than the oem ones.... which I LOVE!!!! Anyways, quick diy. 18th birthday is coming up. Expect coils soon

Re: twopointslow

I think this issue is covered enough, we have seen the car, we either like or do not like the stance so lets leave it at that until the next modification comes along, whatever it might be.

Re: twopointslow

Do whatever you want Drew! You might as well disown your car if you mod your car only according to other's opinions..

Re: twopointslow

Someone with some sense! I actually can't believe anyone would suggest taking those wheels off to put on stock wheels with bald tires. Safety is paramount and you can lower your car whenever you have money. Let's take a step back to look at the situation here and realize how stupid some of these responses have been.

This.

Some of the responses are why so many people decide to have little to no part of the eurodrivers 'community'. C'mon people.
